"Apocalyptic Fate: The Terrifying End of Our Solar System Revealed"

A study of white dwarf stars suggests that even if the Earth survives the Sun's red giant phase, it may one day be torn apart by the solar corpse due to the intense gravitational field around white dwarfs. Observations of three white dwarfs show changes in brightness attributed to objects being devoured, releasing bursts of dust. The study indicates that a few percent of white dwarfs are disintegrating debris at any time, suggesting it is a common process. If the Earth survives, it will face the risk of being torn apart during the white dwarf stage, making its chances of evading the fate uncertain.
